Lockpicking is impossible on console

It doesn’t matter if it’s one item. “Hey got this off a bandit since you know they literally got me cutting off guys ears eggh. Ahhhh those nobles got to love em. So how much?”

“This item is stolen”

“Well I know like you said remember the bandits I killed last time and brought all that loot? It’s more of those guys.”

“This item is stolen”

How do you go about doing that?

Sorry I interrupted your question but yes the millers are the fences and thieves quest

Is anyone else on Xbox one having an issue with the lock picking glitch back to the center?

Hehe I’m having trouble enough on pc. :smile:

Help out your friends, and they in turn will help you :wink:

This I actaully agree with.

It is ridiculously hard on a controller - to the point of being absolutely unplayable. Just the cost of having to buy friggin lockpicks constantly because of breakage on ‘Very Easy’ makes it ridiculous beyond the time spent. When the suggested video says “keep reloading until you get a sweet spot that is easier” as their top tip that is stupid. I choose the console version from the kickstarter now I wish I had chosen the PC version because it is light years easier on the PC. This game officially goes in my “at least I only wasted kickstarter money” bin until I read it’s been improved. and to you PC players - don’t prattle on about “practice” “it isn’t that hard” until you try it on Xbox or PS with a controller. Having done both I assure you while the PC version is far more difficult than other games it is well within tolerable levels versus the hair pulling frustration on a console.

Seriously I am fighting my stick to stay on the sweet spot on console. It’s jumping and jittering. Please fix!

Mines keep jumping around as I move it. Sensitivity is so wack.

Can anyone explain how we are supposed to level lock picking when we can’t complete a very easy lock ? do we gain level even when we fail ? … the picking is a physical impossibility in real life on a controller, you can’t turn 2 sticks at the same time especially when the sweet spot is so small. who thought this was a good idea ? I have picked locks in real life and guess what ? it’s easier in real life. I have a lock picking kit and locks to practise on, picks don’t break because they don’t exist in real life. I’m returning this shite game, that touts it’s realism.lol. realism.

Tsunamik … Are they really ? … got a link to the post or whatever with them saying they are working on it ?

Here you go

Saved and try to open a easy lock 20 times, but without luck. It´s do hard an console and good, that warhorse will fix it.

Read the post below yours, somebody already linked it to you

I’m just hoping they don’t change it too much or make it too easy… I got the hang of it and would be kinda upset to have to learn again or feel I wasted my time getting better at it…

Had the same problem, had to reload save then it worked

Hey guys sorry for the delay i’d have had the video to help everyone on console lock picking and pick pocketing up already but psn has been down in my area =.= Also ill be adding in other ways to make large money so you don’t have to thieve as i found another.

I agree. So much. I loved the game on PC and the lockpicking could be challenging but rewarding.

On PS4 it’s impossible. I’ve wasted 6 lockpicks and and am on my last lockpick now stuck in an endless loop of saving and attempting to pick the lock. I’ve been here for two real life hours trying to get into the meat and bones of the game but basically stuck in the tutorial because it’s very obviously difficult to rotate two analogue sticks at different speeds…

ok I wasted a freaking sejvovice so I can save before the millers lock to get the ring. I keep on trying with no luck and it’s an “easy” lock. This is extremely frustrating…
